Description

After learning the Korean martial art of Tae-kwon-do in Ethiopia after fleeing his once war-torn home of Somalia in the 1990s, trainer Ahmed Mohamed Haji is now encouraging other young men in Mogadishu to also take up the discipline. Just a few years down the line, he has put together a team of fighters that he hopes can qualify for the Olympic Games and, hopefully, represent Somalia at the global games next year.
